Lost in the Cataoombs.

Most people have heard of the eatacombs
of Paris, but few have visited them, or are
aware of their vast extent. They were
originally stone quarries the material
used in building the Cathedral of Notre
Dame, the Hotel Cluny, the older portion
of the Tuileries and many other of the pub
lie edifices of Paris having been derived
from this source. So extensive were their
ramifcations that of Paris within the walls
more than tenth part is said TO have been
honey. combed in this manner. 1t was not
till within the last one hundred years that
the quarries have served the purpose or re-
ceived the name of catacombs Many Pa
risian churches aud cemeteries have trans
ferred the remains of their dead to the
keeping of the catacombs. These are now
under the care of regular corps of work
men, who attend to the arrangement of the
bones keep the galleries in order, and are
constantly on the watch against subsidences
of earth, which would otherwise be of fire.
quent occurrence. The galleries have been
carefully surveyed, and their course COM
pared with that Of the superjacent thor
oughfares. Indicating tablets are put. up
at frequent intervals, so that skilled per-
son can at any moment name the street,
and even the number of the house which
is above his head Without such knowl-
edge or competent guide. however, woe
betide the Inflated wretch who should ven
ture to explore these grim recesses. Be
meath the Rue de liable de fEppee, just
outside the Ossuaire, or catacomb proper,
is seen o tomb in the angle of wall, to
which a terrible. tradition attaches. Here
lies Phillibert Aspairt, formerly porter of
the military hospital of Val de Grace. The
hospital lies above portion of the cata-
combs and from it descends one of the
seventy stair cases of which we have spoken.
In an evil hour the Inflated porter took it
into his head 10 make voyage of discov-
cry in the catacombs. On November 3,
1893, he descended the winding stair.
Lantern in hand he entered that awful lab
yrinth, and he never came back. How
long he lived, or how he died how long
his feeble lantern kept alight, or Tor how
many hours or days he may have wandered
in darkness, ere death put an end to his
sufferings, are among the secrets OF the cat
acombs. For eleven wears his fate was not
even known; but on April so, 1904, some
workmen, exploring in the course of their
duty some of the less used passages, came
upon human skeleton Flesh and eloEh-.
ing had alike crumbled into dust but the
buttons OF the coat remained, and by these
and the bunch of keys that lay beside the
corpse it was identified beyond doubt as
that of the unfortunate Phillibert Aspairt.

The Longest Tunnel in the World

An engineering work that has taken over
a century 10 construct can hardly fail to
offer some points of interest in its history,
and illustrate the march of events during
the wears OF its progress. An instance of
this kind is to be found in a tunnel not
long since completed, but which was COM
nenced over one hundred years ago. This
tunnel OF adit as it should be more strictly
termed. is at Schemmitz, i'll Hungary. It's
construction was agreed upon in 1872, the
object being to carry off the water from the
Schemmiz mines 10 tie lowest part of the
Gran valley. The work is now complete,
and il forms the longest tunnel in the
world, being 10 p miles long or about one
mile longer than the st. Gothard, and two
ana half miles longer than Mont Gems.
The hight is nine feet ten inches, and the
breadth five feet three inches. This tun-
mel which has taken so long in making,
has cost very nearly q million sterling, but
the money appears to have been well
spent; at least the present generation has
no reason to grumble, for the saving from
being able to do away with water-raising
appliances amounts to 415,000 a year.
There is no further point however, worth
notice, for if we have the advantage of our
great-grandfatherS in the matter of me-
chanical appliances, they certainly were
better off in the price of labor. The origi-
nal contract for the tunnel, made in 1882,
was that it should be completed in thirty
wears, and should cost 81 per yard run.
For eleven years the work was done at this
price, but the French revolution enhanced
the cost of labor and materials to such an
extent that for thirty years little progress
was made. For ten years following much
progress was made and then the work
dropped tor twenty years more until the
water threatened TO drown the mines out
altogether. Finally the tunnel was COM
tleted in 1873. the remaining part costing
a22 yard, or more than three times as
much as the original contract rate nqi-

The Largest Farm in the world.

In the extreme southwest corner of Lou
isiana lies the largest producing farm in
the world. 1t runs one hundred miles
north and south and twenty-five miles east
and west, and is owned and operated by a
syndicate of Northern capitalists. Their
general manager, ] B. Watkins, gives an
interesting account of this gigantic planta-
ton, which throws the great Dalrymple
farm in Dakota into the shade completely.
- The million and half acres of our
tract. Mr.. Watkins said, g was purchased
in 1883 from the State Of Louisiana and
from the United States Government. At
that time it was a vast grazing land for the
cattle of the few dealers of the neighbor
hood. When l took possession | found
over 10000 head of half-wild horses and
cattle. Ny work was to divide the inn
mense tract into convenient pastures, es-
tablishing stations or ranches every six
miles The fencing alone cost in the
neishborhood of $50 900. The land | found
to be- best adapted 10 rice, sugar, corn and
cotton. All our cullivating. ditching, etc !,
is done by steam power. We take a tract,
say half a mile wide, for instance, and
place an engir "a each side. These en-
gines are portab-- and operate cable at
tached to four plows, and under this ar
rangement we are able to plow thirty acres
day with ouly the labor of three men.
Our narrowing. planting and other cuiti-
walton is done in like manner. In fact,
there is not a single draught-horse on the
entire place. We have, of course, horses
for the herders of cattle, of which we have
now 5000 head. The Southern Pacific
Railroad runs for thirty-six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats, OPP

then letit out. Take another, and yet an
other breath, in the same way. After that,
take breath into the lungs as slowly as
possible, beginning to fill them up at the
lowest eytremities. and inhaling gradually
until they are filed to their full capacity,
when the air should be exhaled in the same
slow and steady manner in which 1t was
taken in. When you have taken this
movement again, to make sure that the
shoulders are in good position, throw. your
arms vertically over your head and take
another quick. full inspiration, swinging
the arms rapidly to the sides close to the
body and back again over the head. Swing
the arms up and down four times on the
same breath. and repeat the exercise three
or four times. After this it is good plan
to stand erect, with the arms horizontal at
the sides. and vigorously clasp the hands
from that position over the head few

Wire AND HUSBAND AT LAw.-The JUS
tice Court of Lexington was the scene of a
rich trial last Saturday. The case was for
the possession OF hog, valued at So, and the
parties to the cause were husband and wife.
The husband sued out possessory war
rant for the ownership of the hog and the
wife brought counter suit Witnesses to
prove the title to the pig were brought
forward in numbers by both sides. Wit
nesses for the husband affirmed that on
several occasions when PARTIES to whom
the wife was indebted in trivial amounts
wished to attach the hog as her property
she affirmed that the hog belonged to her
husband. Upon the other hand, witnesses
for the wife eagerly testified that the hus-
band, when approached by any creditor,
whose face seemed long and hungry, has
tened to affirm that the hog was his wife's
undisputed property. The case occupied
the entire day, and was argued with ven
geanee by two of our most prominent attor-
neys. The Justice decided that the hus-
band had the better title to the hog, and
awarded it to him, providing he gave a
bond in the sum of SO, guaranteeing the
forthcoming of the property in case further
litigation ensued Up to the hour of going
to press the bond had not been given, and
the hog remains in the custody of the
bailiff.-Og lethope tGa.) Echo.

High License in Illinois.

The attitude of the Prchibitonists toward
the high-license bill in the New York Leg
islature is made subject of severe criticism
by the Chicago Tribune. The Illinois
high-license law took effect in 1SS45. 1t
closed 600 saloons in the city of Chicago
and 1000 in the State. The revenue from
liquor licenses in Chicago alone rose from
100000 per year to $1,700,000. The law
possessed other valuable features besides
that of fixed license of $500 for the sale of
ardent spirits. Il provided that all NUM-
cipalities might increase the license fee as
much as they chose. They were not re-
stricted to $500 or any other sum. Scores
of cities and towns in Illinois, it says
Imposed tax ranging from 5000 to $1,000
on saloons. When g, GOO tax is exacted

hibit0ry to such the prevailing senti-

or Town Councils, or Village Trustees. who
refuse to grant licenses on any terms. In
short, the Illinois liquor laws fit popular

linois Legislature. The obvious answer
was that " the right to sell liquor existed
under the common law, and hence s
statute instead of enlarging the original
privilege, can only restrict and limit
it by imposing prohibition OF more or
less force The question for the Prohibi-
ton fanatics to answer this: What would
be the status of the liquor trade in the alb
senee of any law A condition of no
license would, of course, be condition OF
free liquor. Therefore, any law that may
be passed on the subject is in restraint OF
the traffic more or less.-Nsso York Post.
